Project Description

In 2021, a business in California sought assistance with drafting a shareholder agreement as part of the formation process for their S-Corp. The business had commenced operations in January 2017 but lacked essential documentation such as a formal shareholder agreement, stock issuance, and appointed directors, which were critical to establishing a solid foundation and governance structure for their enterprise. The client prioritized getting these elements organized to ensure compliance and effective management. As a result, the client received four proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $750 to $2,300, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of over a week.

Forum Questions About Shareholders Agreement

Shareholders Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Dec 5, 2024

Can a minority shareholder in a company be forced to sell their shares under a shareholder agreement?

I am a minority shareholder in a company and recently discovered that there is a shareholder agreement in place. In reviewing the agreement, I noticed a provision that states that if the majority shareholders want to sell the company, they have the right to force the minority shareholders to sell their shares as well. This concerns me as it seems unfair that I could be forced to sell my shares against my will. I would like to know if this provision is legally enforceable and what rights I have as a minority shareholder in this situation.

David W.

Answered Dec 6, 2024

Yes, a minority shareholder can be compelled to sell their shares under certain conditions outlined in a shareholder agreement. These agreements often include provisions that address scenarios in which a minority shareholder might be required to sell their shares. Some of these key provisions include Drag-Along Rights and Buy-Sell Agreements.

How does a shareholders agreement work?

I am an individual looking to start a business with several other partners. We are in the process of forming a company and want to ensure that everyone is on the same page in terms of expectations and responsibilities. We are considering a shareholders agreement, but I am unsure how it works and how it will affect our business. I would like to get a better understanding of how a shareholders agreement works and how it can be beneficial to our business.

Thomas L.

Answered Aug 15, 2023

A shareholders' agreement generally provides specified outcomes on issues that require a stockholder vote. Thus, who is on the board of directors, the sale of the company, and other major issues like that. The agreement requires that the stockholders vote in the agreed upon manner to enforce the agreement.
